In the present study, we generated antibodies in rabbits against two synthetic peptides, one based on peptide sequence from yeast CPT cDNA (position 86 to 98 of the amino acid sequence) and the other from our guinea pig CPT cDNA (it corresponds to amino acid positions 119 to 130 according to yeast CPT gene). The antibody titers were measured by both dot blot analysis and ELISA using Keyhole limpets hemocyanin coupled CPT peptides. The CPT antibody recognized a single band by Western blot analysis of proteins from guinea pig liver mitochondria and microsomes. The molecular weight of the protein recognized by Western blot analysis is close to the predicted molecular weight (46 kDa) of yeast CPT. Further analysis revealed that the antibody inhibited CPT activity in both subcellular fractions in a dose dependent manner, thus confirming the specificity of the antibody against both subcellular CPT. 相似文献

Recombinant human cysteine protease inhibitor, stefin A, was expressed in both Escherichia coli and BS-C-1 monkey kidney cells utilizing pET and recombinant vaccinia virus systems, respectively. The expressed protein was purified and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis utilizing a polyclonal antibody against rat cystatin alpha. In both cases the purified protein appeared as a single band corresponding to the molecular weight of stefin A ( approximately 10kDa). Viability of the expressed stefin A was determined by the inhibition of the plant cysteine protease, papain. Recombinant human stefin A expressed in both E. coli and BS-C-1 cells, was shown to almost completely inhibit papain. The expression of a fully functional recombinant human stefin A in the bacterial system provides a highly efficient tool for the production of large quantities of the protein. This can be an important tool in kinetic studies as well as in production of antibodies for other analytical studies (immunoblot, immunohistochemical studies, etc.). Expression in the mammalian cells, on the other hand, can provide a significant research tool to study the functional roles of stefin A in mammalian systems such as regulation of cysteine proteases. 相似文献

We isolated a cDNA encoding liver catalase from a human liver cDNA library. The cDNA had a high degree of sequence similarity to the corresponding enzyme from other sources. It was expressed in E. coli using the pET15b vector. The protein produced was enzymatically active after purification, and its kinetic parameters closely resembled those of other mammalian catalases. Monoclonal antibodies were generated against the purified catalase; six antibodies recognizing different epitopes were obtained, one of which inhibited the enzyme. The cross reactions of the antibodies with brain catalases from human and other mammalian tissues were investigated, and all the immunoreactive bands obtained on Western blots had molecular masses of about 58 kDa. Similarly fractionated extracts of several mammalian cell lines all gave a single band of molecular mass 58 kDa. These results indicate that mammalian livers and human cell lines contain only one major type of immunologically reactive catalase, even though some of catalases have been previously reported to differ in certain properties. 相似文献

小鼠子宫颈部位输卵管蛋白表达的初步研究 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
用RT-PCR及免疫印迹法检测证实小鼠子宫颈粘膜上皮细胞具表达输卵管蛋白的能力,宫颈部所获得的输卵管蛋白转录产物, 310到 714的405bp的cDNA片段经序列测定及blast比较表明与输卵管部位表达的输卵管蛋白完全一致(100%)。小鼠子宫颈输卵管蛋白在动情周期的表达波动情况与输卵管粘膜上皮的类似,其表达于小鼠动情期明显增加。Westernblot显示小鼠子宫颈提取物中存在两种不同分子量(60KD,30KD)的输卵管蛋白。原位杂交结果则提示子宫颈粘膜上皮细胞含丰富的输卵管蛋白mRNA信号。通过"原体中风"实验未发现输卵管蛋白在体外对精子活动有影响,其功能尚须进一步分析。 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy is a multisystemic disorder, due to a CTG triplet expansion at the 3'UTR of the DM1 gene encoding for myotonic dystrophy protein kinase. Recent studies indicate that decreased DMPK levels could account for part of the symptoms suggesting a role of this protein in skeletal muscle differentiation. To investigate this aspect, polyclonal antibodies were raised against two peptides of the catalytic domain and against the human full-length DMPK (DMFL). In western blots, anti-hDMFL antibody was able to detect low amounts of purified human recombinant protein and recognized the splicing isoforms in heart and stomach of overexpressing mice. In human muscle extracts, this antibody specifically recognized a protein of apparent molecular weight of 85 kDa and it specifically stained neuromuscular junctions in skeletal muscle sections. In contrast, both anti-peptide antibodies demonstrated low specificity for either denatured or native DMPK, suggesting that these two epitopes are probably cryptic sites. Using anti-hDMFL, the expression and localization of DMPK was studied in human skeletal muscle cells (SkMC). Western blot analysis indicated that the antibody recognizes a main protein of apparent MW of 75 kDa, which appears to be expressed during differentiation into myotubes. Immunolocalization showed low levels of DMPK in the cytoplasm of undifferentiated cells; during differentiation the staining became more intense and was localized to the terminal part of the cells, suggesting that DMPK might have a role in cell elongation and fusion. 相似文献

The epithelial cells of prostate gland secrete various secretory products that play an important role in the growth and differentiation of prostate gland. These secretory products have also been implicated in neuroendocrine differentiation of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate malignancy. We have cloned a prostate-derived cDNA encoding a novel protein with a predicted molecular weight of 78 kDa (P(78)), and precisely mapped the cDNA sequence to chromosome 19. The P(78) gene has a complex genomic structure with 18 exons and 17 introns. The P(78) contains two conserved structural domains with limited similarity to domain D of synapsin I. The P(78) mRNA was expressed in various human cell lines. Western blot analysis using antibody specific for the P(78) revealed the presence of the P(78) protein in the prostate cancer cell lines with much lower level in metastatic prostate cancer cell lines compared to that in a primary prostate cancer cell line. 相似文献

To investigate the immunogenicity of plasmid DNA encoding bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata) zona pellucida (ZP) glycoprotein-B (bmZPB), the cDNA corresponding to bmZPB, excluding the N-terminal signal sequence and C-terminus transmembrane-like domain, was cloned in mammalian expression vector VR1020 downstream of tissue plasminogen activator signal sequence under cytomegalovirus promoter (VRbmZPB). In vitro transfection of COS-1, COS-7, CHO, HEK-293, and UM-449 mammalian cells with VRbmZPB plasmid DNA led to the expression of bmZPB. Expression of bmZPB in transfected cells was cytosolic. Flow cytometry analysis of COS-1 cells transfected with VRbmZPB revealed that approximately 15% cells expressed bmZPB. The expressed bmZPB has an apparent molecular weight of 57 kDa. Immunization of male BALB/cJ mice with VRbmZPB plasmid DNA in saline as compared to VR1020 immunized group, elicited significant antibodies against E. coli expressed recombinant bmZPB as evaluated in ELISA. The antibodies generated by VRbmZPB plasmid DNA recognized bonnet monkey as well as human ZP. The immune sera obtained from mice immunized with VRbmZPB plasmid DNA also inhibited, in vitro, the binding of spermatozoa to the ZP in the hemizona assay. These studies, for the first time, demonstrate the feasibility of DNA vaccine to generate antibodies against ZP that recognize native protein and inhibit human sperm-oocyte binding. 相似文献

1. Human prolactin has been expressed in Escherichia coli. A cDNA fragment coding for the signal sequence and the full length prolactin molecule was cloned into the expression vector pUR291 which directs the synthesis of a beta-galactosidase prolactin fusion protein when expressed in E. coli. 2. Cultures of E. coli harbouring the recombinant plasmid pJMBG62 produced a fusion protein of the appropriate molecular weight which was detected by Western blot analysis using a polyclonal antibody raised against pituitary-derived human prolactin. 3. The fusion protein was isolated from inclusion bodies in a partially pure form and it was used as immunogen to raise antibodies against human prolactin. 4. When this partially purified fusion protein was injected into rabbits it generated antisera with good prolactin titres in animals which were rested for one year following a disappointing primary immunization with purified human prolactin. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies 50B4 and 50E6 recognize two distinct epitopes of human p85 glycoprotein (CDw44). Both epitopes are destroyed by reduction of the purified gycoprotein as demonstrated by inhibition of cellular radioimmunoassay and Western blot analysis. Endoglycosidase F treated p85 glycoprotein, with an apparent molecular weight of 73,000 is still reactive with both monoclonal antibodies. Thus both epitopes are conformational determinats of the polypeptide chain. A rabbit antibody produced against purified native p85 glycoprotein also reacted only with the non-reduced form of p85. Repeated immunizations with SDS-dissociated and reduced p85 yielded a polyclonal antibody reactive by Western blot analysis with reduced and non-reduced forms of p85 glycoprotein. When a HOON leukemia cell line cDNA expression library was screened with this polyclonal antibody, two cDNA clones were isolated which reacted specifically with the antiserum and not with the control non-immune serum. Preliminary characterization of these clones indicates that they are p85-related. 相似文献

1. On Western blot analysis, serum IgG from a healthy human subject reacted with a stress-induced protein, having an apparent molecular mass of 70 kDa, from PC12 cells. 2. This serum IgG also reacted with hsp70 (70-kDa heat-shock protein) purified from the bovine brain. 3. In 5 out of 34 healthy human subjects, IgG antibodies against hsp70 were detected. 4. These antibodies were directed against the stress-inducible 72-kDa protein, but did not cross-react with the constitutive 73-kDa protein. 相似文献

The mouse cDNA and its genomic clones encoding the epididymal secretory glycoprotein ME1 were identified. The Me1 gene spans 15kb with four exons and three introns. The deduced amino-acid sequence of the ME1 cDNA revealed that it consists of 149 amino acid residues, which contain a signal peptide characteristic of secretory proteins, six cysteine residues and a proline-rich region conserved in the orthologous proteins. Northern blot analysis revealed that 1.3kb ME1 mRNA is highly expressed in the mouse epididymis. The polyclonal antibodies generated against human HE1 (ME1 orthologous protein) expressed in bacteria reacted with approximately 17 to 25kDa components in mouse epididymis crude extract. The reduction of the molecular mass of the recombinant ME1 protein with the digestion of glycopeptidase A indicated that it is modified by Asn-linked glycosylation. 相似文献

We show that the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR), isolated from the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, has an apparent molecular weight identical to that of rat liver GR (94 kDa) and reacts with antibodies raised against the latter. These antibodies were used to clone cDNA sequences corresponding to the human GR from a lambda gt11 expression library constructed using MCF-7 poly(A)+ RNA. Three non-homologous cDNA clones with inserts of 125, 220 and 350 bp, which express epitopes recognised by the rat liver GR antibodies, were isolated. Rat liver GR antibodies, immunopurified using the immobilised purified beta-galactosidase fusion proteins, detect partially purified rat liver and human GRs on Western blots. In addition, these antibodies immuno-adsorb rat liver and human GRs affinity-labelled with [3H] triamcinolone acetonide. Northern blot analysis, using all three cDNA probes, reveals the presence of a major MCF-7 poly(A)+ RNA species of approximately 7 kb. 相似文献

Previously, we cloned a full-length cDNA of human Aup1 and showed that AUP1 may represent a new cellular target for the two adenovirus oncoproteins, E1A Ad5 and E4ORF3. In this study, we generated a polyclonal anti-AUP1 antibody and examined the subcellular localization of AUP1 in MCF7 cells, HeLa cells, H1299 cells, 293 cells, BRK1 cells and transfectants expressing adenoviruse E1 genes. Double staining of AUP1 and various markers for cytoplasmic structures showed that the pattern of AUP1 distribution in the cytoplasm was puctuate and diffuse and without any colocalization with Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum. Additional studies with ectopically expressed AUP1, fused with red fluorescent protein (RFP) in H1299 and McG7 human cell lines and BRK1 rat cell line, showed cytoplasmic localization of RFP-AUP1. Western blot analysis revealed that AUP1 was expressed at similar levels in all tested cell lines and had the same molecular weight as the rat protein (45 kDa). Taken together, these results suggest that AUP1 is a cytoplasmic protein that is expressed in all cell lines we examined. 相似文献

Species crossreactivity of human progesterone receptor monoclonal antibodies: Western blot analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The crossreactivity of monoclonal antibodies (hPRa 1, 2, 3 and 6) generated against human progesterone receptor was examined in six mammalian and an avian species using the techniques of sodium-dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis. Immunoreactive bands were detected on protein blots of receptor-containing preparations from human endometrial carcinoma grown in nude mice, human T47D breast cancer cells, rabbit, cow and mouse uteri, and chick oviduct. No receptor-associated, immunoreactive bands were detected in rat, guinea pig or hamster uteri. The number and molecular weights of the receptor subunits detected varied between species, and only human progesterone receptor displayed electrophoretic microheterogeneity in its high molecular weight subunit. These data demonstrate that the human progesterone receptor antibodies recognize epitopes not common to all species. 相似文献

The differential display-polymerase chain reaction technique was employed to obtain a prostate-specific approximately 300-bp cDNA fragment. On screening the human prostate-lambdagt10 library with this fragment, a full-length approximately 1.5-kb cDNA encoding for a prostate antigen, designated as human novel prostate-specific antigen (hNPSA), was found. Extensive database searches revealed that the hNPSA cDNA is a novel sequence. It has an open reading frame (ORF) of 735-bp encoding for 245 amino acids (aa), with a calculated molecular mass of approximately 27kDa. Hydrophilicity analysis of the deduced aa sequence indicated that hNPSA is a membrane-anchored peptide. Analysis for tissue-specificity by Northern blot and RT-PCR-Southern blot procedures indicated that hNPSA is specifically expressed only in human prostate. The hNPSA (ORF) was subcloned into pET22b(+) vector and expressed using the histidine-tagged gene fusion system. The recombinant (r) protein of approximately 27kDa was purified and antibodies (Ab) were raised in rabbits. The rhNPSA Ab recognized a specific protein band of approximately 35kDa in solubilized human prostate tissue and not in any of the other 10 human tissues tested in the Western blot procedure. The hNPSA expression is upregulated 2.5- to 3-fold, both at the mRNA and protein levels in androgen-dependent LNCaP cells, as compared to normal whole prostate tissue. Antisense, but not the sense, phosphothiorate-conjugated oligonucleotides based on the hNPSA cDNA sequence significantly (p<0.001) inhibited proliferation of LNCaP cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Thus, the novel hNPSA, which has prostate-specific expression and seems to be involved in carcinogenesis, may have applications in the specific diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. 相似文献
